1'0 al/l whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID C. KLINE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State view of adevice embodying this invention,

omitting the burner and burner-cone therefrom. Fig. 2 is a verticalsection on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a vertical section onthe same line 2 2 of Fig. 1 through a lantern of a modifiedconstruction, showing a burner and burner-cone in position therein.

In the drawings, 1 1 are the lower ends of the usual air-tubes of atubular lantern.

2 is the oil-font.

3 is the gallery-tube, to which the ends of the air-tubes are connected.

4 is the support or socket for the burner.

5 is the burner itself, adapted to fit in said socket, the socket andthe burner being preferably conical to fit one within the other.

6 is the burnercone, adapted to fit upon the gallery-tube 3, which isoutside the rim of the flared portion 6 of the burner-cone.

Within the gallery-tube 3 is the annular foraminous deflecting andcurrent-checking diaphragm, 9 separating the lower portion of thegallery with which the air-tubes 1 connect from the upper portion of thegallery constituting a chamber with the burner-cone around the burner.In the present form of device the air comes in through the side tubes,is distributed and checked by the diaphragm 9, passes upward through thefiared portion 6 of the burner into the burner-cone, and by the usualslot in the burner-cone is directed against the sides and ends of theflame.

In order to produce a satisfactory and cheap .device of thisconstruction, the top 10 of the font is pressed up into a projection 11,perforated at the center to form an orifice and having around it a beador groove 12 in in the top of the font. In this bead or groove 12 reststhe lower edge of the gallery-tube 3. The lower edge of theburner-socket 4 is turned inwardly to register with the inner edges ofthe font-orifice and of the annular diaphragm 9. A sheet-metal annulus14 is bent over and compressed upon the inner edges of theburner-socket, the font-orifice, and the diaphragm, whereby these threeparts are fastened rigidly together, as shown in Fig. 2, withoutrequiring the use of solder. In Fig. 3 the same device is employed forholding the parts together; but the annulus is formed integral with oneof the three parts. In this form of device the annulus 15 is on themetallic inner edge of the font-orifice in the projection 13 and fastensthe registering inner edges of the diaphragm and of the burnersocket tothe font.

This construction is cheap, is capable of manufacture by dies with aminimum amount of handwork, and is capable of manufacture and assemblingby unskilled labor.

What I claim is 1. In a burner device for tubular lanterns, agallery-tube, an oil-pot having a central orifice within saidgallery-tube, a burner-support having an orifice corresponding to saidcentral orifice, a perforated diaphragm-plate having its outer edgefitting the gallery-tube and its inner edge registering with the oil-potorifice, and means for holding said parts together.

2. In a burner device for tubular lanterns, a gallery-tube, an oil-pothaving a central orifice within said gallery-tube, a burner-supporthaving an orifice corresponding to sald central orifice, a perforateddiaphragm-plate having its outer edge fitting the gallery-tube and itsinner edge registering with the oil-pot orifice, and a metal annulus insaid orifices and compressed u on the adjacent edges of the oil-pot andof t e burner-support.
